If memory serves, the '73 models had a 55 amp alternator[my 145 did] if your lights are dim, especially if you run lots of them, you'd better rewire the light circuits as well. I'm fond of the idea of using a separate relay for each light, wired directly to the battery[through a fuse, of course]. This saves the hassle of replacing the original wires. On my 544, with 80/100 H4s, I hooked the relays to the battery with 10 gage wire[+ and -].
